Application filed C ctober 30, 1915.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Fnnn E. WHITE, citizen of the United States, residing at Gard ner, Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tanks for Oil-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to liquid holding tanks and consists in providing a glass insert for the end of oil tanks forming the fuel reservoir of oil stoves although its use is not limited in this respect. The oil tanks of this type are removable from the stove and the filling orifice is usually at the bottom so that when the tank is removed from the stove the tank is inverted and filled with oil in this position and then reversed as the tank is applied to the stove, operating on the usual student lamp principle.

In an application filed November 12, 1914:, git-871761, I have shown a glass insert for a reservoir but this is concentrically arranged relative to the end of the tank, and in my present improvement I arrange it eccentric, with the lower edge of the glass in normal position as near as practicable the bottom of the tank. This permits accurate observation 01"- the lowering contents of the tank when in use and when the tank is being filled the port allows, in the eccentric position of the glass, full observation of the rising oil Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by. addressing the Commissioner of ratents,

and enables the tank to'be filled to the utmost without overflowing the same.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view of an ordinary form of tank containing my improvement, while Fig. 2 is an end view.

In the drawing the numeral 1 indicates the tank, 2 the end piece of the same, and 3 the glass insert carried by the end piece.

As I have above explained, I arrange the glass port eccentrically of the end of the tank in order that accurate observation may be made of the contents whether in the normal position shown as the oil is feeding orwhether in inverted position when the tank is being filled. By this means the tank can be used until every drop of oil has issued therefrom and in filling the height of the oil can be observed so as to completely fill the tank without danger of overflow.

lVhat I claim is:

A liquid holding tank for oil stoves having a feeding orifice at its bottom and adapt to be filled through the same orifice when the tank is inverted, a glass insert or port for the tank arranged eccentrically at the end thereof and nearer the bottom than the top, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
